Default Estes Vampire

Finally finished my Estes Vampire clone. I waited several months to catch a Jinx on eBay. I waited several more weeks to get decent painting weather. I noticed some dust issues with the paint due to the breezy day, so I sanded it down a little and waited several more weeks to get another decent day to repaint.

The original had stick on decals. I used images in AcroRay's thread as a basis to make my own body tube decal and I used his fin decal file with a slight change in the red color to suit my taste. I printed the decals on Avery full sheet label paper. I sprayed Krylon Crystal Clear UV on them to protect from moisture.
